The Firebird – Susanna Kearsley

I never read historical fiction and rarely romance, but I read this one because Susanna is coming to speak at Guildford Library on October 27th. Well, it was a great book! It has an interesting plot about a British art dealer with the power to touch an object and know its history. Nicola travels to Russia to help a client prove her wooden firebird is connected to Russia’s Empress Catherine. Ah, and there is romance, with Rob, who has more developed psychic powers than Nicola herself. This book had a pace that moves along quickly, with interesting settings and realistic, likeable characters. I will try other books by this author now. (submitted by KA)
